Copper Sulfate is also in rat poison.

I thought so too but I'm my limited research I couldn't find anything supporting that. The deadly compound in rat poison is zinc phosphate. Though the colors described in the affidavit did make my mind go there, as well as to miracle gro, apparently rat poison is just that color to kinda warn humans from eating it, but copper sulfate is actually very blue/teal in color. Hopefully we will find out before trial if that blue green color substance has anything to do with the crime. I was also thinking it could be a mint shake from Culver's? It is a bit green in color, but I'm not sure if they ever even had shakes.

Not typically found in conventional rodenticides, at least not in MIchigan (I own a pest control business). Most common compound would be bromethalin which is an anticoagulant. Feel free to prove me wrong, but I've never seen CS on a label other than algaecide for water features.

Thank you for that info, I replied to the comment as well, but I completely trust your info!! Thanks again!

One of the people articles posted above states that CP gave up RP for adoption after she was born. Do we have any idea who adopted her or how she became so enmeshed with CP still after that adoption? Was it a familial adoption because CP was so young? I'm so wondering where the adoptive parent(s) is/are in all this. I don't think I believe the words of any person involved around RP at this point. I've read some crazy cases here at WS over a couple decades, but this one makes my brain literally want to shut down. Whatever truths are to be found seem buried under mounds of lies, deception, and projection.

She was adopted by a family in Lake City, not far away. They've been keeping a low profile, but they have spoken out recently to media. No family relationship between C and the adoptive family. They also adopted RP's sister and brother and RP's 2 young children. She became involved with CB again somewhat recently, but I haven't paid much attention regarding exactly when.

Thanks so much for that. That helps clear at least that part up for me. I can't blame any of them for not being too vocal, as it seems to be a case of let everyone run their mouths, point their fingers, and then see what the evidence actually shows and supports. But that does my heart good to know RP had someone on her side trying to help her, the kids. I appreciate you catching me up on that.

sOk....Yahoo has the same article from Michigan Live...but for free. Free and just as gruesome.
God, do I feel terrible for Stephanie Park, the adoptive mother of all three of Cortney's children.

‘Only a matter of time’: Rebecca Park’s adopted mother on why she worried for her children’s safety

This article IS viewable. And it is very very painful to read.


I feel so bad for the adoptive mother, Stephanie Park... she tried hard to shield them. for so long..

I don't think I have ever "wished" for payback quickly in prison.

Adoptive mom of pregnant Wexford victim tried to protect her, knew suspect was 'dangerous'

Stephanie Park said she spent years trying to shield her adopted daughter from her biological mother, who is accused of killing the 22-year-old pregnant Wexford County woman while attempting to cut a baby from the victim's womb.

It’s unfortunately pretty common for those in foster care/adopted due to removal to link back up with bio parents

Lack of research to present and I’m not googling to make this a factual statement but in my experience and IMO this reconnection increases with the age of the child at removal

It’s hard for us to understand but the bio connection is fierce and remember - abuse neglect trauma and dysfunction are how people feel love and normal when it’s what they’ve experienced

Hi. I will agree with you about the reconnection increasing with the child's age at removal. IME a 12 month old had no desire to reconnect with the ones she did not remember.
Also IME the 4 year old was fierce but walked away from the abuse neglect and trauma you say is what they call normal, when the reconnection happened 15 years later.

 

[julyj]

Agreed on CB probably pulling this out of her rear end to make it look like BB had the motive… but it’s also possible BB raped RP and that attack is the reason both daughters wouldn’t agree to be in the same room with him. MOO

edit to add: although Kimberly probably would have mentioned this while locked up if true

Do we know on what grounds he turned in BB and got in jail the previous year? Maybe this accuse had to do with RP's attack/rape? I am trying to see how CB could put BB in her masterplan to agree and participate in attacking/killing RP with no obvious reason. IMO, CB used this reason ( RF turning in BB ) to put in his brain that he could get revenge from RP by taking away his child. He would get revenge and she could have a child. Again.. MOO..

I don’t know what the 2nd part of this means sorry

I will second that -- I maintained my district's post-adoption caseload for 20+ years and saw this happen time and again, even when there were no conflicts within the adoptive home that would push a child to reconnect with bio family. Age at removal can definitely be a factor, as well as how much the adoptive parents support continued contact with bio family post-adoption, and community size. With that said, I have many family members and friends who were privately adopted as infants, and probably 3/4 of them have pursued reconnection with bio family at some point in their lives (with less than half of that group maintaining a relationship long-term.)


MOO.

Lol

Why would she want to give the baby to RF if the father is BB??

It makes no sense.

Her lies are not even lies anymore, she is beyond lying...she spins a tangle of different realities that intersect because she herself gets confused by her own lies.
It would be amusing and comical if she wasn't a murderer.

If she was planning to give her grandchild away, why did she have a fully stocked baby nursery already? And WHY did she post that she had given birth to a preemie boy that was in NICU ?

 

[nhmemorymaker]

Makes me wonder who is the father of her sister’s child, who was also involved with RF at one point. Does anyone know if he is the father of RP’s other two children in the care of the Parks?

On another note, working for DCS previously in a different state, if children have been previously removed and rights terminated, it used to be an automatic removal of any subsequent children at birth from the hospital (once discharged). Or detecting any substances in the baby’s meconium used to lead to removal at birth, especially if there was a TPR (involuntary termination of rights). I don’t know if that’s the case anymore but I believe RP had this fear of the child being removed by DCS upon discharge and had mentioned it previously. Part of me wonders if CB played on her fears with this factor. Just speculation, but what if she talked her into inducing labor at home with some weird substance she concocted off the internet (blue chalky) and it did not work. All with the plans of taking that baby for herself. I know it has been mentioned in news reports that CB wanted RP’s other children placed in her care before and was angry they were placed with the Parks. When things didn’t work out with labor induction, did she decide to do the extreme with the botched C section against RP’s will?

Normally, I would say my theory sounds nuts but with these people, anything is possible.

I have felt that the fear of DCS taking the child was a fierce component connected to all of their actions....
And I feel that the two daughters felt there was no one better than Cortney to come up with a way to screw the system, and not lose the baby this time.

 

[nhmemorymaker]

And snail pellets.

Shadow, I had to google that one.
But then, when I saw the picture of them, I DO remember them in gardens when I lived in the UK.
ha!

The two daughters did not turn to Courtney to screw the system.

Twenty years ago Courtney lost custody of her three young children because she's an irresponsible junkie.

Those kids were Rebecca, Kimberly and their bother. They were all taken in by Stephanie Parks, she fostered them and ultimately adopted the three of them.
Rebecca grew up and had two children, she knew that she couldn't look after them as well as they deserved, so once again Stephanie stepped up and adopted them (with Rebecca's blessing).

It's likely that Stephanie would have adopted this one as well. There was no animosity between Rebecca and her foster mum Stephanie.

In the last couple of years both Kimberley and Rebecca decided that they wanted to meet their biological mum.

Stephanie had spent twenty years shielding the kids from Courtney, but they were now adults and had a right to choose to meet Courtney.

It unfortunately led to the death of Rebecca and her unborn son.

There were a lot of lies and false accusations told by the various characters in this story.

Courtney masterminded this revolting plot, and carried it out with Bradley's help.
No one else is responsible. Not Rebecca, not Kimberley, not Richard nor anyone else who they tried to blame.

It was all Courtney's sick twisted plan.

I sense that you misunderstood me.....
I harbor no hard or bad feelings with Either Rebecca or Kimberly.... I believe all that we heard from Stephanie that they had a good upbringing was truth.... And Stephanie tried so hard to shield them.

What I was trying to say... was that I felt Rebecca did fear DCS. And felt she was probably sucked in by Cortney who might convince her that she, Cortney, had a plan to avoid any detection from DCS.
I was only suggesting that Cortney was capable of trying to screw anything, and anybody....
